Normally I would think this is a bit too personal to share all over the Internet. But I can't help myself this time. And I figure some of you parents will appreciate it. Here is my daughter "reading" a book. She is 19 months old now. She has been doing this for awhile, but this is the best video we've managed to catch so far. Enjoy.

i was gifted the most beautiful little girl on the planet and made her a promise while holding her the first time that I would be a Dad worth being proud of. And that I knew one day she would bring home a boy just like me and I'd probably kill that young man. I don't know that I accomplished the first part but she says I did so that's good eonugh for me. The second...Well..I put the fear in more than a couple young fellers. She has always been a real pretty girl and quite popular. And I seemed to always be working on or cleaning a gun when they showed up.

Enjoy your time pretty new Dad, I swear all I did was blink and mine was going off to college. I did give her a Sig P226 9mm to go with her She gets her CCW and I'll give her a carry gun.

Man the time just flew!

You got a gorgeous and very smart little one there JW. You must be very proud.

Thanks, Drum. I'm extremely proud. And I'm positive your little girl is of you as well. It really is amazing. When I think about work, it feels like it takes forever for a day to pass. I can hardly machine spending at least another three years in the military. But when I think about my little girl and the fact that she's already almost two years old, I can't, for the life of me, figure out where the time has gone. I know she's still young, but good Lord two years is kinda a long time! She's still my baby, of course, but (at the risk of sounding cliche) it really does feel like yesterday that we were welcoming her to the world.

Sounds like your girl is on a good path so far. I'm sure daddy can take some credit for that.

Your daughter is adorable. I like it when I see children interested in books. My family was always reading books to my granddaughter and now that she's 7, she's reading books on her own now. It every night there is some reading to her before bed. If a child likes to read, the world is open to them in so many ways.
